Thursday
17 December 2015 Actions
planned so far in Bucharest, London, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, San Francisco . . . (watch
this space for more countries and more events). If
you organise an event, let us
know and we’ll publicise it. Please
circulate this mailing to your contacts.
Chelsea
Manning
will be 28 years old on this day.
Formerly known as Bradley, she is the whistleblower, US soldier,
Grand
Marshal
at San Francisco Pride 2014, who leaked hundreds of thousands of documents to
Wikileaks
exposing the truth about
US, UK and other governments’ war crimes and corruption in Afghanistan,
Haiti,
Iraq,
Israel
& the Palestinian Authority .
. . In doing so, she helped save many
lives. Chelsea was Imprisoned in
2010 and held for months under torturous conditions; in August 2013 she was
sentenced to 35 years.
From
prison Chelsea has written
against
the police killings of young people of colour in the US and in support of
immigrant people.
An
appeal to quash Chelsea Manning’s conviction is being put forward by her legal
team and will be announced in late 2015 or early 2016. We
must get her out!
Donations
to her legal fund are needed also.
As
pressure increases to extend the bombing of Syria, former US air force members
have blown the whistle on the killing of innocent civilians in drone air
strikes. We have a responsibility to defend whistleblowers who, like Chelsea,
are persecuted for telling the truth about murder and
war crimes, rape, torture, neglect, underfunding, starvation wages, corruption .
. . in the military,
prison, detention
centres, police, hospitals, care homes, and
every institution.

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
